Giuseppe Garibaldi fue uno de los principales protagonistas de la unificación italiana en el siglo XIX. Para muchos italianos representa el espíritu de lucha por una Italia unida.
Su episodio más famoso fue la Expedición de los Mil, en 1860. Al frente de aproximadamente un millar de voluntarios, conocidos como los “Camisas Rojas”, desembarcó en Sicilia para combatir al Reino de las Dos Sicilias.
Garibaldi consiguió conquistar Sicilia y posteriormente avanzó hacia Nápoles. Su campaña contribuyó decisivamente a que gran parte de la península quedara bajo el control del movimiento unificador.
Lo particularmente interesante es que Garibaldi no buscó convertirse en rey. Cuando pudo haber intentado quedarse con el poder en los territorios conquistados, entregó sus conquistas a Víctor Manuel II, contribuyendo a la creación del Reino de Italia en 1861.
Garibaldi también participó en conflictos en Sudamérica, donde adquirió experiencia militar y revolucionaria antes de regresar a Europa.
Otros grandes héroes italianos
Giuseppe Mazzini — gran ideólogo del nacionalismo italiano.
Camillo Benso, conde de Cavour — principal arquitecto político y diplomático de la unificación.
Víctor Manuel II — primer rey de la Italia unificada.
Enrico Toti — símbolo del sacrificio italiano durante la Primera Guerra Mundial.
Pero si preguntamos por el héroe popular por excelencia, Garibaldi probablemente sea el número uno.
Su imagen quedó asociada a una idea que todavía forma parte de la identidad italiana: una nación dividida que consigue finalmente convertirse en un solo país.
He [Garibaldi] said that the only way in which he could render service, as he ardently desired to do, to the cause of the United States, was as Commander-in-chief of its forces, that he would only go as such, and with the additional contingent power—to be governed by events—of declaring the abolition of slavery; that he would be of little use without the first, and without the second it would appear like a civil war in which the world at large could have little interest or sympathy

A great and good man, in the tradition of Lafayette and San Martin. And he lived in New York City, on Staten Island, for a couple of years in the 1850s. https://www.garibaldimeuccimuseum.com/
My favourite story about him was when his only daughter was kidnapped and imprisoned in Crete, so she wrote a letter telling her situation and simply writing “to Giuseppe Garibaldi”, no address, city or whatever. She was imprisoned in a house, so she simply threw the letter through the window. Well it seems he was so famous and popular that the letter ARRIVED TO HIM IN TURIN, making possible to him to free his daughter.
I’m not really sure about the veracity of this story, but I anyway find it mesmerizing.
Durante más de doce años en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, Giuseppe Garibaldi, el héroe de la unificación italiana, vivió, estudió y luchó en Sudamérica. Fue torturado, escapó de la muerte en innumerables ocasiones y conoció a su esposa brasileña, Anita, quien se fugó con él en 1839.
Garibaldi practiced and mastered the techniques of guerrilla fighting that were to serve him in Italy. He also learned how to command and inspire men. In later life, he was criticized for being a rather lax disciplinarian, but it may be said in his defense that comradeship is perhaps better than strict discipline at inspiring a volunteer guerrilla army. Surely he gained more experience in military matters than any other Italian of his generation.
Abraham Lincoln invited him to take a command at the beginning of the Civil War; unhappy with Lincoln’s refusal to take a stronger stand against slavery, however, Garibaldi refused. When in 1864 Garibaldi went to England, he was received by thousands of well-wishers. The peoples of the world recognized in Garibaldi a man sincere in his love of freedom, a man selfless in his devotion to his cause, a man absolutely incorruptible. Because he was uncompromisingly idealistic, he was an inspiration to his people; indeed, more than Mazzini, Cavour, or even Victor Emmanuel himself, Garibaldi represented the spirit of Italian unification.
Garibaldi’s military successes were perhaps also a manifestation of his character and most particularly of his courage. What academy-trained military man would have ventured the risks he did and against such overwhelming odds? Indeed, the very riskiness of his adventures often secured their success, for surprise was easier to achieve when the hazards seemed overwhelming. Garibaldi stands as one of the great patriots of all time, a “hero of two worlds” and for all times. If he was at times overcredulous and naïve, such may be attributed to his good heart, the same good heart that was the source of his heroic splendor.

CommentGaribaldi è un eroe nazionale. Qui e in Sud America.

A great italian leader.
Un gran militar, No duda
Garibaldi zarpó rumbo a Sudamérica, llegando a Río de Janeiro.
He was the son and grandson of sailors.
My favourite story about him was when his only daughter was kidnapped and imprisoned in Crete, so she wrote a letter telling her situation and simply writing “to Giuseppe Garibaldi”, no address, city or whatever. She was imprisoned in a house, so she simply threw the letter through the window. Well it seems he was so famous and popular that the letter ARRIVED TO HIM IN TURIN, making possible to him to free his daughter.

Garibaldi sailed for South America, reaching Rio de Janeiro. Brazil and the republic Rio Grande do Sul were at war.
Brazil….

Garibaldi’s relationship with the Italian monarchy was complex, ultimately leading him to retire to his home on Caprera Island.
He was a rebel
